Yay! My router and Windows Vista is secure :p

Unless you have your router setup in bridge mode, that is simply the results of the security of your router. If your router is in bridge mode why is this noteworthy? Cant you secure vista or something?
 
May be, believe me it's noteworthy. I had a Marconi router before, and it never passed those tests. Who said I can't secure Vista? :p ;)
 
Well, you almost done for inbound/outbound ( 2-way-handshake ) connections. Now you just have to create some outbound filter rules which you want to allow. I don't know if that router supports it, but it's worth a check, lol. Well, some may differ but it's always a good idea to limit outgoing connections, only those that are necessary, either which way & turn the syslog ON for both "in & out" to monitor your activities. Disable the windowzz' firewall & run some good AV's ( NOD32, KAV, AVG, etc. ) - You can also get [Process Explorer] ( Free Utilz ) to monitor running processes. Just some thoughts... or dumping a Linux squid proxy in between your lan & router/routers...

grc.com doesn't do a proper test.

Rather get a friend of yours with Nessus or nmap and ask him to hammer your IP... :D
